Join wood friends for spring walks

The Friends of King’s Wood in Chal­lock are hold­ing two walks over the next week.

The first is this Sun­day, and will be led by Jon Shel­ton of the Ken­tish Stour Coun­try­side Part­ner­ship.

Meet at the cricket club in Boughton Lees on the A251 at 10am, with the re­turn there by around 2.30pm. It is an 8-mile walk, so wear stout shoes and dress for the weather. There will be a lunch stop in Chal­lock, where re­fresh­ments can be pur­chased.

The sec­ond walk, with a Twi­light – Blue­bells and Deer theme – is next Wed­nes­day, 6.30-8pm. With the wood’s blue­bells cur­rently at their best, there will be a won­der­ful per­fume and walk­ers may be lucky and see some wild deer. Meet in the lower for­est car park on White Hill Road (TN25 4AP). The cost of both walks is £3.50 on the day but free to mem­bers.

An­nual mem­ber­ship is £6 per per­son or £12 for a fam­ily. Ac­com­pa­nied chil­dren are free. For more in­for­ma­tion, please text 07523 203458 or email en­quiries@friend­sofk­ingswood.org.
